Review: The Shadow: Lingo. By Walter B. Gibson *** out ****

Layered, dazzlingly complex The Shadow mystery, which features some of Walter B. Gibson's best writing, and a plot so clever, it's almost a magic act. Typically, The Shadow stories fall into one of three categories: stories about small town crime syndicates, stories about a devious, almost omnipotent villain, and stories about organized crime. Lingo is arguably Gibson's ultimate tale about organized crime, with a large cast of characters, plenty of twists, and an ending that is sure to impress both die-hard fans and newcomers alike. Highly recommended.
